Premask Tape & Laser Shop Supplies

Professional-grade 3M Premask tape for surface protection, transfer, and clean laser production. Available in five widths to suit any laser engraving format.

3M™ Premasking Tape

3M Premask tape is specially formulated for laser engraving and graphics applications. It adds stiffness to flexible materials, protects film surfaces from stretching, and shields graphic images from scratching and smoke damage during the laser process.

Available in multiple adhesion levels — always formulated so the tape has lower adhesion to your film than the film has to its substrate. Clean, residue-free removal after every job.

Pro tip: Always apply Premask before engraving or cutting leatherette, wood, and acrylic sheets to keep the surface clean and minimize post-job cleanup time.

What Premask Is Used For

Surface Protection

Protect engraving materials from smoke residue and debris during laser cutting and engraving.

Transfer Application

Apply large-format screen-printed and electronically cut graphics to substrates.

Prevent Scratching

Protect graphic images from being scratched during handling and production.

Reduce Flashback

Minimizes laser flashback burns on the material surface when cutting.

Leatherette & Wood

Essential when cutting leatherette or wood to keep the surface clean and residue-free.

Multiple Adhesion Levels

Available in multiple adhesion levels — lower adhesion than the film to the substrate for clean removal.
